    Thanks xslytherinx, your post inadvertently cracked me up as I read it in the small print on my phone as ‘sold an old sock this morning’. Thought I was missing a trick! First purchase for me once debt free should be glasses methinks!

    £45 paid to CC yesterday:

    #?? £47/£1682
    PAYDBX 2019: £432/£1682
